No surprise can be created bf il"' news which
we publish to-day of the resignation of the
French Cabinet, conaeqnent upon the belief of
.Ministers, as thc result of tie' recent debates
in the Chamber, that they did ti"t possess
the confidence of the Deputies. The programme
submitted by Premier Dnpujr to the Legis?
lature hist week, while excellent from a purely
administrative point of view, was cali minted to
afford satisfaction neither to the Radicals' nor
tt' the Monarchist.-.. Moreover, it contained
several projects to which certain of the Min?
isters had openly expressed their objections,
while on the other hand it .'innoiinccd the "|>
position of the cabinet to mcnamee publicly
indorsed by the Ministers of Finance and of
Public Works. Both of iheae colleagues of M.
Dupuy belong to the Radtcal party, and it was
solely due to the personal rtt-qnest of Presldenl
Carnot thal they consented to defer their with
drawn! from the Cabinet until after the meet?
ing of the Chamber and the expression of the
latter's eentlmenl toward the Administration
by means of a vole of confldence. Thc latter
was bound to be unfavorable, as it is mani?
festly difficult to expect any public or legislative
confidence to be felt In a Cabinet thal was
known to bc quite the reverse of homogeneous,
PROF, ALEXANDER'S STATEMENT.
The statement of Professor Alexander regard?
ing Hawaiian affairs, which was published, i"
The Tribune yesterday, is in some respects the
most important that has yet been made. He
is a man not unknown in educational, scientific
and historical associations in this country. He
is a man of unusual gills, the son of one of the
first missionaries in the Sandwich Islands, him?
self a native of Hawaii, who graduated willi
next to the highest honors at Yale, timi erer
since his graduation has occupied places of high
honor and trust under various GoTemments <>f
the islands. He has DO political axe to grind.
Hut Mr. Blounl preferred t<> bis testimony thai
of Wundenberg, who was one of the revolu?
tionists until be found thal be could not get
the Office he wauled and then turned loyalist.
There could not be a greater contrast as re?
spects credibility of Information, it pleased
Commissioner Blount to suppress all the ma?
terial part of Professor Alexander's statement
and to rely largely upon the assertions of the
discarded ofl*ceeeeker, whose opposition the
Republican Govenunent of Hawaii incurred by
failing to make the revolution personally profit?
able to him.
Those who kn >w Professor Alexander under?
stand that his statement! as to till malters in
dispute are entitled to the utmost. ronfldence.
There are some nun in this world who are s >
conscientious, and so careful not to allow per?
sonal feeling to blas their statements' ihat they
always lean a little backward, so lo speak,
in their desire t" stand straight That is pre?
cisely the chara ter of the Burveyor-Oeneral
whose testimony tha gross misrepresentations
of Commissioner Blounl have drawn out. Pro?
fessor Alexander has been in such personal re?
lations with ihe former Kini:, with the late
Queen, .".nd with the lesdlng men of all parties
in Hawaii, that his eye -winn ss testimony of the
revolution and of the events which caused i'
Cannot be reasonably disputed. Yet it pleased
Pie-idem cleveland's Commissioner to roppresa
his evidence, and to SCCt pt in place of it that
of persons not entitled to credit.
Tin' Pra^dcni will imi gain anything, in tbe
estimation of Utougbtful or just persons, -by
such a distortion ol' evidence, li comes to light,
day by day, that all the men upon whom civil
Ixation and Christianity in thc Hawaiian Islands
have depended during the last thirty years were
in hearty sympathy willi the revolution, regard?
ed it tis absolutely necessary to the welfare of
the country, were prepared to sustain it at any
cost, and would regard the proposed reinstate*
inent of the Owen as .a relapse into barbarism.
The D-ited States cannot afford to make Itself
responsible for any sm-h change, even on Ibe
theory thal the action of Minister Stevens was
open to criticism. Hut according to the t.-ti
immy of Professor Alexander, Mr. i'as;l", of
"Thc Honolulu Advertiser"; Mr. Thurston, and
hundred! <>f others who were present and par
ticipants, and whose evidence no one can rea
sonably dispute, the revolution was absolutely
completed without any action of the United
States authorities or marines, who were sfler
ward landed solely for the purpose of protecting
the property of American citizens which a riot
and ti bloody conflict might have endangered.
lt docs not suit President Cleveland's plans
that such testimony as this should be accepted
as a basis of action. His aim has been from ihe
lirst to discredit, as far tis he could, the action
of th" Harrison Administration, lt w;is nol a
blga or honorable aim. anti it ls exceedingly
probable that he will regret, before many
months have passed, that he saw lit lo seek a
personal or partisan advantage at the expense
of National interests.

The loss of tile Javary, while not perhaps a
derisive blow, will seriously impair Admiral
Mcllo's prestige, ami may hasten the downfall
of the insurrection. The revolt has been in
progress for tin. months, and there have been
no Indications that any considerable portion of
ihe population of Braal] was in sympathy with
it. The people are apathetic nader eli condi?
tions, and never in any haste lo commit tin m
selves to revolutionary projects. The capitals
and ports of all the States are under the control
of military garrisons, and Admiral Mcllo's po
Utica] allies, if he had any in Hie provinces,
could tdd him only by overturning the local and
State governments and openly raising his stand
ard. Nothiug of this kind luis been done. The
Stair's have supported PeiXOtO. The civil war

military operations iii Kio <'ramie do Sui having

of Santa Catharina, being held under the guns
of insurgent warships. The sinking of one of
the most formidable visseis of thc Admiral's

The Broadway cable is busily competing with

live greater perils for pedestrians.
The cable cars ,.n Broadway tire now run*
ng wiih few Interruptions and at a for blaber
'erage sped than horse cars attain. The
lek is so well laid, moreover, Ihat they move
loothiy, without noticeable iwaytng iii any
rection. in a word, they glide swiftly tor?
in] in such a manlier as to give the unwary
. OCUlar warning of their BppTOSCh We ate
rsTuaded ihat in tins difference between th"
di.ci of a cable car and that of a tar with

tlcfa Ihe former Involves, The horse car .'lil?

? Irregular movements of th,, animals that

IV ACE OE BOOKS
ai iii" opening of th" Morley Memorial ?'"!
1< |fe, In London, th., other day. Sir John l.ub
bock delivered in excellent address on the
value of l.ouks p. workingmen, making, how
ever, some statement! which ne.I io be taken
with qualifications, lt is mtdoubtedly true, as
he said, that to the artisan books are of special
value, not simply because they can Inst mci
him, bul because tiny will give him a truer
knowledge of life, ami lift him oin of th" mo?
notony which the modern division of labor en?
tails upon marly all arorkingmen. Rven the
savage has a more varied extateuce than Hie
modern operative, who perhaps spends his
whole life in making, not a completed article,
but a minute part of it. So. to.,, the life of the
farmer is far preferable to ihat of the piece?
worker in this respect. Bren if he is a mau of
few ideas, his mind will lind a certain stimulus
in the variety of his occupations. Sir John Lub?
bock, therefore, is entirely righi when lie de?
clares ihat no class in the community would de?
rive more benefit fruin the reading of books
than wot-Mngmen, timi especially artisans.
Kui we lind it harder to follow him when he
declares that workingmen might I.onie great
readers. Thev have, he says, shorter hours
than doctors, lawyers or merchants; and when
they ate throiiL-li with their work they have
had all the exercise they wain, and can there?
fore devote all their leisure lime to reading.
While this may be true in a measure of artisans
of ihe hbjher class, || is aol true of manual
workers in general. They have practically
little time for reading; and ir they had the
lime they are too wearied physically lo lake
advantage of it. What the hard working mau
iienls more than anything else when he fin?
ishes his day's wuk is sleep, and plenty of it.
We neither believe nor assert thai an industrial
system which makes such a slate of affairs
necessary is ideally right. Kui whether right
or Wrong, it ls a fad which il is idle to ignore.
There ls little opportunity for the average
workingman to acquire knowledge by the read
lug of books. This ls not to say that h.- may
not be Intelligent; for, whatever his occupation
may be. he has the great book of human lire
BVeV before Ililli, lu whose .ages afc to be
round In bulk all the wisdom and knowledge
ivhlch are found COttCetttrat'd lu books.

for a difference of opinion. lt is an unquosth
able fact that the cheapness and multiplicity
books have resulted in making a large prop)
Hon or those who read to-day superticial ai
scrappy. Their desire to take advantage of t
opportunities offered in them induces g sort
Intellectual fever that is fatal to true cultui
